This is one of the priceless (to me) images in my computer file folders:
My cousin Laura sent me this photograph several years in a sepia tone. I straightened, enhanced, sharpened and colorized it using Google Gemini 2.5 Flash. It is not very colorized!
Here is the OpenAI ChatGPT5 colorized image of the above photo:
At least that is better colorized, but it cut off the woman on the right!
There are four women in this photograph. I don't know who three of them are. The second woman from the left is, I think and Laura thinks, my great-grandmother, Juliet E. (White) Richmond (1848-1913), the wife of Thomas Richmond, and mother of my paternal grandmother, Alma Bessie (Richmond) Seaver. The photograph may have been taken in Massachusetts around 1900, or in Putnam, Connecticut around 1910. I think it was probably taken in Putnam, Connecticut in around 1910, probably on the Richmond dairy farm.
Who are the other women? They may be daughters of Juliet and Thomas Richmond, sisters of Thomas Richmond, the wives of Thomas Richmond's brothers. or the wives of Juliet's sons. I don't have any other photographs to compare them to.
This photograph is a part of my family history.
